U+7BE1 "篡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7BE1 "篡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to usurp" or "to seize," often in the context of illegally taking a throne, power, or position. It is composed of the radical "竹" (bamboo) on top and the phonetic component "算" (to calculate) below, though its etymology traces to the idea of manipulating records or recalculating to falsely claim authority. Historically, this character appears in classical texts describing coups or rebellions, such as Cao Pi's usurpation of the Han dynasty. In modern usage, it retains its negative connotation of unlawful seizure, extending to contexts like data tampering or plagiarism. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, supporting its use in digital text across various East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
